I had braces for two years and during that time my orthodontist let my two front teeth separate from eachother, then pulled them back together again in a cycle. They probably went through this cycle 5 or 6 times. I didn't realize then that it would be a problem. Eventually one of my front teeth started looking gray and it turned out it was dead, and x-rays showed that the roots of both front teeth were quite bent. My usual dentist was away and her stand-in told me that they see about one person per year who has this exact issue arise from that orthodontist, and suggested it was entirely the orthodontist's fault. However, when my regular dentist came back, who is likely in some sort of partnership with the orthodontist because she did recommend him to me, she told me that it wasn't his fault. When I got the braces off, about two years ago, I had to have a root canal for ~$1000, and now my tooth is gray for the rest of my life. My orthodontist dismissed the issue as I must have fallen and injured my teeth. I didn't.
I probably signed all my rights away with the contract before getting the braces. Is there anything that can be done? I am in Canada, by the way.
